Totally agree with you daredevil. It astounds me to see a players number retired for only one season with the team. Bourque will always be a BOSTON bruin in my eyes. Looks as though they just wan’t more banners hanging from the rafters??

Yes - there's me. And it was the Colorado Rockies, and the Denver Spurs before that.

And why aren't you puling and whining about the "carpetbagger" Dallas Stars, New Jersey Devils, etc.?

Jealousy is an ugly thing. Don't worry, though - we won't steal your (self-appointed) nickname. Nor will we steal your crack habits, urban decay, shoddy automobile industry, repugnant caucasian rappers, etc.

Don’t forget the Avs seeing fit to retire Ray Borque’s #77 after a little more than one season with the Avs. Pathetic.

The word is SELLOUT, meaning all the tickits are sold. It has nothing to do with how many people actually go to the game. There would be no team in any sport to have a sellout streak if every single person who bought a ticket had to go to the game; People get sick, there is bad weather, and some people just decide to not go to the game at the last minute.

Sad, but this is how the world works.

To promote deals from external sources you need to see a reason to do so. To market a product you want mass viewers. If all the tickets are "sold" then companies will feel that their product is getting out in the market.

What kills me is the Avs were built in Canada - as in the Quebec Nordiques. Peter Forsberg and Joe Sakic were part of that Nordique team before they defected to Colorado. Previously, Colorado tried to support a team, but the Denver Rockies? was a bust. So I guess we're supposed to bow our heads to the carpetbagger team that is now trying to rip off someone else's "Hockeytown" nickname.

Is there anything original in Colorado, other than an unsolved child beauty contest murder and mass high school killings?

First off who cares? I dont hear too many people “Boast” about attendance anyway. Second of all if your at a game you are a fan of the sport. If you dont like the sport why go? So most likely even if it is “Corporate sales” those people still enjoy the game. So I guess the big thing is whats ur point?

this is how sellouts are calculated in all sports. The NHL isn’t special…

Yeah i agree but they still aren’t pumping on all cylinders jusy yet….when antropov and newy get back things will be better but the defensive play has been average at best so far…..when they all start to gel it will get better and maybe if guinn stop changing the lines so damn often
